Undergraduate Nondegree Students

There are two categories of undergraduate nondegree enrollment (policy 02-80, 14-00):

Nondegree-Regular: Any person having received a high school diploma or its equivalent
may be permitted to register as a nondegree regular student. There are no specific enrollment
limitations associated with this student status.

Limited to a maximum of 30 credits while in this status (policy 14-10).

All nondegree students register on a space available basis.

Enrollment as a nondegree student does not imply admission to the University.

Nondegree-Conditional: Any student who has been dropped from degree status
by Penn State or any other college or university because of unsatisfactory scholarship may be
permitted to register as a nondegree-conditional student. Restrictions are applied to students
registering in a nondegree-conditional status.

May register for a maximum of 12 credits per semester
(audit credits are included in the 12 credit limit).

Limited to a maximum of 30 credits while in this status
(policy 14-10).

Must achieve a semester grade-point average of 2.01 or higher each semester enrolled in this status.

Nondegree-conditional students
are not eligible for financial aid; housing in the residence
halls might not be available; and other privileges may be restricted.
